    He has one.

    Re: C. Trent Notes

    Tonight may prove how straight that fastball is coming and going. Personally I would like to see him develop a nice splitter to go with his array of pitches, but lets work on what he has first.

    I'd pass on that. Don't want him shredding that elbow.

    What do you mean by 'get it working?

    Its generally the fastball he throws in the 89-92 MPH range and that pitch has a decent amount of movement according to the pitch f/x system.

    Schilling's fastball once had nice movement. But more importantly, pinpoint accuracy.

    And you saw what Browning's fastball did too often: ended up in the seats. But again, what kept Browning out of trouble was his control.

    Speaking of Bailey:

    Dusty also said he thought Homer was throwing well and that Dick Pole told him this is the best he's seen Bailey throw since he'd been here. That'll certainly be tested with this Yankee lineup. "Homer's been throwing the ball well. He's throwing it real good. I'm seeing (improvement) in control, mechanics, demeanor. I haven't seen the tendancy to overthrow, which is usually the case."
    Per C. Trent

    Homer's "straight" fastball is a mirage. He doesn't get explosive action, it is very heavy instead.

    Instead of balls flying out of GAB, it will plop into the SS's mitt. More likely somebody like Cueto will get creamed as his ball tends to jump off the opposing players bat, especially at lower velocities.

    Ehhh...Even if he gets pounded, I doubt we can draw many conclusions from tonight either way.

    He's a step behind Cueto, but he's ridiculously young, and Cueto's ridiculously good.

    Patience, and a good showing in AAA this season will do wonders for him.

    He's not quite ready for prime time, and I'm totally fine with that.

    He's gonna be a pretty decent little pitcher in a few years. Let him grow.

    I'm guessing he overlooked Belisle. Because Fogg and Affeldt together have less talent than Belisle.

    Talk about agenda driven posting.
